Researching the desert campaign through the history books on the indigenous holocaust of Argentina, I learn of the massacre suffered by the Selkʼnams (
Onawo or Onas) at the hands of the English, Scots, Italians and Irish, led by the red-throated pig Mac Lennan and Julio Popper. Their boss Menendez paid them a pound for each testicle or breast of the Onas killed, and half a pound for each ear of their children (
1886|7, Argentina).
